Big Momma’s House 2
Big Momma’s House 2 isn’t awful, but it is lazy and clichéd. Even its homilies on family ties, while appreciated, feel cribbed. The fat jokes are tiresome, as are the stereotypes of grandmotherly black women who adore Oprah, lust after Billy Dee Williams and invoke the name of Al Sharpton at the faintest hint of racial discrimination.

Feedburner is growing and is now in Japan.

Mark Lee Townsend (guitarist/producer) has this to say in the liner notes of the CD:
“I’ll never forget Jen at the press conference sitting there after Sheryl Crow made some comment on the Reverend Falwell and then a reporter asks Jen if she was taking heat for being at the festival (Lilith Fair). She simply said that every artist there was asked to play and share their beliefs through their music, so why should she be any different, even if she sang about Christ. It was a simple and poignant statement that hit home with everyone there, myself included.”
This “Live” CD came to be in a rather unique way as Townsend explains
